Plan of the Affair near Maxen 20th and 21st November 1759.
P. Mazell Sculpsit.
[London, 1766-90.]
Rare engraved map on two sheets, unjoined; 18th century watermarked paper. Each sheet c. 410 x 400mm (16¼ x 15¾"). With large margins; left sheet trimmed to image ready for joining, splits in binding folds.
Detailed plan of the Battle of Maxen (20 November 1759), between the Prussians and Austrians in Saxony, part of the Seven Years' War. A Prussian corps of 14,000 commanded by Friedrich August von Finck was sent to threaten lines of communication between the Austrian army at Dresden and Bohemia. However the action was anticipated and Field Marshal Count Daun surrounded the Prussians with 40,000 men, forcing Finck to surrender. The map comes from General Henry Lloyd's 'History of the late War in Germany', published in London in three volumes between 1766-90. Originally published anonymously, the work was written for military professionals. Lloyd was criticical of Frederick II's predictable tactics, as shown in this battle.

Capt. Murray Maxwell, R.N.
Drawn & Engraved by T. Wageman, 1817.
Rare stipple. Ssheet 215 x 135mm (8½ x 5¼"). Trimmed as published; slight foxing.
Sir Murray Maxwell (1775-1831), naval officer. Maxwell commanded ships in the West Indies before he was appointed to the frigate 'Alceste' in 1807, on which he served with distinction in the Mediterranean. In 1812 he was appointed to the 'Daedelus', sailing to India, but when that ship was wrecked off Ceylon in 1813, Maxwell was re-appointed to the 'Alceste', conveying Lord Amherst to the emperor of China in 1816. While Amherst was in China, Maxwell explored the Gulf of Pecheli (Beizhili), the west coast of Korea—until then unknown except by hearsay, and drawn on the chart by imagination— and the Loo-Choo Islands. The results of this exploration were documented by Captain Basil Hall in his 'Account of a Voyage of Discovery to the Western Coast of Corea and the Great Loo-Choo Island' (1818). After Lord Amherst re-embarked in January 1817 the ship struck a rock near Pulo Leat and everyone was forced to flee the wrecked ship and make for shore, where they were eventually rescued (having been threatened by Malay pirates). Maxwell was knighted for his conduct in 1818, having been tried by court martial and fully acquitted in 1817 (the year this portrait was made). He subsequently commanded the 'Briton' on the South American station. Not in O'D; for views from Clarke Abel's book published following the same embassy, see refs. 25037-9.

Everard Maynwaring, (c.1627-c.1699), a doctor at the forefront of 'Chemical Medicine'. In 1665 Maynwaring was one of the proponents of the 'Society of Chymical Physicians', which was meant to challenge the authority of the College of Physicians. His techniques seem to have been successful: also in 1665 he was entrusted with the care of the pest-house of the society for employing the poor in Middlesex and he claimed that out of the eighty patients in his care, fifty-six recovered. Among his books were 'The ancient and modem Practice of Physic', 'A Treatise on the Preservation of Health and Long Life', 'The' Complete Physician', 'History of the Venereal Lues', 'The Pharmacopian Physician'a Repository', 'A Treatise of Consuptions' and another on the Scurvy. After the Restoration King James's 'Counterblast to Tobacco" was reprinted: to which is subjoined 'A learned Discourse written by Dr. Everard Maynwaring, proving that Tobacco is a procuring Cause of the Scurvy'; also his 'Serious Cautions against excessive Drinking, with several Examples of God's severe Judgments upon Notorious Drunkards, who have died suddenly', &c.'. It is likely that this a frontispiece portrait for one of his works. Grainger: 'A Biographical History of England'; Wellcome 6438i.

Don Jose de Mazarredo y Salazar de Muñatones Cortázar (1745-1812), considered to be one of the best Spanish naval commanders of all time. In 1780, with the Spanish and French siding against Britain in the American War of Independence, he inflicted a huge blow on Britain's war efforts by attacking a convoy en route to Florida and capturing 55 out of the 63 ships and 3000 soldiers and sailors, along with their cargo of 80,000 muskets, many field guns, 300 barrels of gunpowder, more than £1,000,000 in gold and silver and uniforms for more than a dozen regiments. During the French Revolutionary Wars Mazarredo initially had some success but he antagonised Napoleon, whose plans he called 'imperialistic and despotic', and was dismissed from the navy. Besides his wartime activities Mazarredo studied and taught naval theory. In 1778, as commander of the ship of the line San Juan Bautista, he compiled hydrographic surveys in the Iberian Peninsula, contributing to the creation of a Maritime Atlas. He also surveyed ports of South America. A large map is open on the table showing Australia. From a scrapbook compiled by Rev. Willaim Bradford (1780-1857), Chaplain and war artist during the Peninsula Wars.
